Luo Feng flew to the front entrance of the Yan Feng Guild's main building, where the attendant who had previously served him was already waiting.

"Divine Lord," the attendant greeted with a smile as he approached, "The Deputy Guild Master has instructed me to invite you inside."

"Deputy Guild Master?" Luo Feng nodded slightly. "Lead the way."

The attendant guided Luo Feng away from the main building, deep into the complex of the Yan Feng Guild, stopping in front of a small building with its door open. "The Deputy Guild Master is waiting inside for you," the attendant said.

Luo Feng nodded and entered the building while the attendant stayed outside to stand guard.

Inside the small building, a figure composed of gray mist was seated, the hollow eyes within the mist seeming to "smile" at Luo Feng.

"Divine Lord Luo He, please have a seat," the gray mist figure said, personally pouring a drink for Luo Feng.

Luo Feng sat down opposite the figure.

"Try this drink and see what you think," the gray mist figure suggested.

Luo Feng picked up the cup and noticed that the liquid inside exuded a cold aura, with the faint roar of a terrifying beast echoing within it. Curiously, he took a small sip and felt a refreshing coolness spread through his soul.

"This drink is brewed from the blood of the God-King-level beast, the 'Ten Thousand Realms Icewind Beast.' It has a nourishing effect on the soul and can enhance comprehension. The effect lasts for an entire day," the gray mist figure explained.

"Enhance comprehension?" Luo Feng was surprised.

The Ten Thousand Realms Icewind Beast? There was mention of it in the Duan Dong River lineage's records. This God-King-level beast was composed of ice, with countless universes naturally forming on its icy scales—so many that it was known as the "Ten Thousand Realms." The very breath of the beast carried traces of the power of the Primordial Dao, hence the name "Ten Thousand Realms Icewind Beast." It had appeared on the Origin Continent a long time ago but was captured alive by the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, where it was kept and harvested for materials used in making various treasures, wines, and more.

"When I left the Yan Feng Ancient Kingdom, I brought some with me. I only offer it to friends I admire," the gray mist figure said.

"You flatter me," Luo Feng responded, feeling the cool sensation continue to spread through his soul, noticeably enhancing his thought processes. The enhancement to his comprehension seemed to be just as the other had described.

The gray mist figure shook its head. "In a place like the Kingdom of Yu, which is relatively remote, resources are ultimately limited. Anyone who can kill the Blood Python Society Leader in a one-on-one fight at the Eternal True God stage is remarkable!"

Luo Feng smiled.

Indeed, the Blood Python Society Leader had deep reserves in many areas and wielded a mechanical treasure, making him exceptionally powerful. Killing him as an Eternal True God was certainly a difficult feat. Figures like Xue Yun and Mo Li Xiao were elites cultivated by the divine kingdoms.

"I'm here today to claim the bounty," Luo Feng said.

"Before your battle, only you, Divine Lord Luo He, had taken on the task. And shortly after you accepted it, the Blood Python Society Leader was killed," the gray mist figure said. "But according to the rules of the Yan Feng Guild's Dark Hall, you still need to present proof of the kill."

"Since you were the only one who accepted the task, you can present the corpse, any remains, or his primary weapon or treasure as proof," the gray mist figure added.

If multiple strong individuals had taken on the task, the Yan Feng Guild would have been much stricter in its verification process.

"Will this suffice?" Luo Feng flipped his hand and produced the Blood Python Society Leader's armor, which bore several inconspicuous cracks and wounds. However, as an Eternal-level armor treasure, these cracks could gradually heal with divine power.

The gray mist figure glanced at the armor and smiled, nodding. "That will do!"

"This is the bounty of 160,000 Universe Sand!" With a light wave of the gray mist figure's hand, a jade bottle appeared before Luo Feng.

Luo Feng took the jade bottle, and upon probing it with his divine power, found 160,000 grains of Universe Sand inside. It was clear that the Yan Feng Guild had prepared it in advance.

"If Divine Lord Luo He doesn't need to use a large amount of Universe Sand immediately, you can store it with the Yan Feng Guild," the gray mist figure suggested with a smile. "You can exchange it at any Yan Feng Guild on the Origin Continent."

"No need," Luo Feng replied as he stood up.

He knew that the Yan Feng Guild offered storage services, particularly for powerful cultivators who died without designating heirs. Whatever they had stored in the guild would naturally become the guild's property.

"Deputy Guild Master, I'll take my leave," Luo Feng said.

The gray mist figure stood up to see him off.

After Luo Feng left, a robust man appeared out of thin air inside the small building.

"Guild Master, you didn't want to speak with him?" the gray mist figure asked the robust man.

"Anyone who can kill the Blood Python Society Leader on their own must have some background. They're either elite cultivators nurtured by the divine kingdoms or those who've had extraordinary encounters and undergone extensive tempering… But this Luo He has no prior record with the Yan Feng Guild," the robust man said, shaking his head lightly. "I feel like he's a complete enigma."

"Uncle, don't you think he was too casual? He brazenly killed his way into the Blood Python Society headquarters in broad daylight, slew the Blood Python Society Leader, and then came straight to the Yan Feng Guild to claim the bounty. Doesn't he realize that many factions in Huyang City are likely watching the Yan Feng Guild's entrance? Coming here at this time must have alerted quite a few powers," the robust man frowned.

The gray mist figure nodded. "Yes, he was indeed too casual."

"This suggests that he doesn't consider those factions worth his concern," the robust man laughed. "But one thing is certain: he values the bounty highly."

"Most cultivators have to struggle for resources," the gray mist figure sighed. During his time overseeing the Yan Feng Guild, he had seen many Eternal True Gods resort to any means necessary in their pursuit of wealth.

In Huyang City, at the Chaos Armor No. 913 residence.

"Divine Lord Morosa, I'll stay here and keep watch," Mo Yuqingyan said as he meditated in a small building near the entrance to the residence, while Morosa kept an eye on the main gate.

"Don't worry about me," Morosa snapped.

"Oh," Mo Yuqingyan immediately fell silent, not daring to say more.

Morosa waited patiently.

Finally, the residence's formation activated, and the gate opened naturally, with Luo Feng flying in from outside.

"Master," Morosa immediately rushed over with a flattering smile. Mo Yuqingyan also quickly came out to wait by the side.

Seeing Morosa's expression, Luo Feng laughed. "Don't worry, I tried to keep your food intact."

"Thank you, Master," Morosa was overjoyed.

"Qingyan, make sure to diligently comprehend the laws," Luo Feng instructed.

"Yes," Mo Yuqingyan responded immediately.

Luo Feng then led Morosa to the underground hall.

"My master is truly powerful, directly storming into the Blood Python Society headquarters. I wonder if the Blood Python Society Leader is dead or alive," Mo Yuqingyan thought to himself as he returned to the small building. The stronger Luo Feng became, the more hopeful Mo Yuqingyan felt.

After all, if he passed the test, he had the chance to become a disciple.

Mo Yuqingyan sat cross-legged in the small building and began to carefully comprehend the ten basic laws.

...

In the underground hall, inside the Star Tower.

With a wave of his hand, Luo Feng tossed out the corpses of Deputy Leader Lai Mo and Blood Python Society Leader Mu Yang. The two massive bodies emanated a terrifying aura.

"Two corpses?" Morosa's eyes lit up.

"The other deputy leader had a body of poisonous insects and transformed into a million poisonous insects," Luo Feng said. "I destroyed the million insects, so he was completely annihilated. But I suspect he might still be alive since a sufficiently powerful poisonous insect body means each insect is a life of its own. But he was weak, so it's not worth worrying about."

Morosa nodded, his eyes burning as he looked at the Blood Python Society Leader's corpse. "It's still best to have the body of a powerful being. The Blood Python Society Leader's bloodline likely reached the tenth level of the Eternal True God stage, and his primary bloodline was also very powerful."

"As long as you like it," Luo Feng nodded and then went to another space within the Star Tower.

Morosa sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the powerful bloodline and various energies contained in the two corpses.

...

Luo Feng was alone in the first-level space of the Star Tower.

"Let's see what we gained this time," Luo Feng said as he waved his hand, taking out all the spoils from his visit to the Blood Python Society headquarters.

"Wow, how did the Blood Python Society Leader have so much Universe Sand with him?" Luo Feng marveled as he looked at the treasures in front of him that contained the stored Universe Sand. After a quick count, he was surprised. "Including what the two deputy leaders carried and the bounty, the total Universe Sand exceeds 980,000 grains!"

This enormous amount of Universe Sand delighted Luo Feng.

"Eternal True Gods either use their resources for cultivation or to exchange for powerful treasures," Luo Feng mused. "But for the Blood Python Society Leader to carry so much Universe Sand with him is quite unexpected."

"The resources for the second body refinement should be sufficient," Luo Feng then turned his attention to the blood-colored disk floating nearby. The disk shimmered with a glossy sheen, and upon closer inspection, it revealed a vast blood river flowing within it.

Luo Feng reached out and grasped the blood-colored disk, allowing his perfect divine power to seep into it.

Buzz~~~

As his perfect divine power poured in, Luo Feng quickly refined the now ownerless mechanical treasure and gained a wealth of information from it.

"An Eternal True God-level single-body mechanical treasure, the 'River of Life Blood'?" Luo Feng was secretly astonished. "With this mechanical treasure, one can transform their divine body into a river of blood, nearly without flaws."

"Whether for protection, attacking enemies, escaping, eroding, or creating clones… this River of Life Blood possesses chaotic properties, making it incredibly powerful."

"In terms of value, my Killing Wu Wing is estimated at around 1 million Universe Sand, while this 'River of Life Blood' is valued at about 1.5 million Universe Sand, even higher!" Luo Feng assessed.

Eternal True God-level mechanical treasures, which granted partial chaotic realm abilities, were among the most elite on the Origin Continent. Their valuations typically ranged from 500,000 to 5 million Universe Sand, with no fundamental difference between them.

Mechanical treasures valued at 5 million Universe Sand were more like the perfect combination of several mechanical treasures!

Buzz~~~

With a thought, Luo Feng poured 1% of his divine power into the blood-colored disk. Although he hadn't thoroughly studied the "River of Life Blood" mechanical treasure, he could roughly use it thanks to his perfect divine power.

Rumble~~~

The blood-colored disk trembled.

Even 1% of Luo Feng's divine power was greater than the full divine power of an Infinite Divine Body Eternal True God.

A river of blood that seemed to swallow everything formed, as if it wanted to engulf all things and return everything to chaos, merging into the blood river.

Luo Feng watched the terrifying blood river floating before him, a smile appearing on his face.

"Such a powerful treasure was wasted on the Blood Python Society Leader!" Luo Feng remarked. In terms of dealing with enemies, the Killing Wu Wing was not as troublesome and terrifying as this "River of Life Blood."
